Hello! I'm Sarah Graybill, an illustrator from eastern Pennsylvania specializing in mixed media tea paintings inspired by supernatural animals from Japanese folklore. Currently, my illustrations explore the world of a young woman named Okina who becomes possessed by a kitsune and trapped within the realm of spirits. My shop features made-to-order prints, along with charms, bookmarks, and more!
